Kings Mountain High broke ground on a new athletic fieldhouse at John Gamble Stadium Wednesday, thanks to a fund-raising effort led by the Touchdown Club. Among the features of the proposed 12,000 square foot facility:

New coaching offices, two separate training rooms (one for taping, one for rehab), a multipurpose meeting room, video/techology rooms/hookups, a trophy and display area for recognizing past Mountaineer greats, plus lockerrooms, showers, etc.

Hall Builders Inc., of Kings Mountain is the general contractor. Fieldhouse blueprints are on display at First National Bank in Kings Mountain.
